Swaddled no more

Posted on Sunday, April 26th, 2009 at 3:44 pm

Charlotte rolled over from her back to her stomach last week, which was a fun milestone except it means we can’t swaddle her anymore, since she could end up trapped on her face. So, we went cold turkey with no swaddle and had one really rough night where she was up every two hours. But it’s gotten better each night, and the last two nights she slept from 8 or 9 till 5 wearing just a sleep sack with her arms free. That is actually better than how she was sleeping before. Naptimes are still hard for her to get and stay asleep unswaddled, although today she fell asleep fine in her crib.

Uncle Dennis comes to town

Brian’s brother is in town for a conference, and he stayed with us last night, so Charlotte got to meet her Uncle Dennis. We went out for sushi last night and had waffles for breakfast.

Easter and other fun stuff

We went to my parents’ last weekend for Charlotte’s first Easter. She got an Easter basket at home and at Nana and Papa’s, with some fun books, bath toys and a stuffed bunny.

Here’s Charlotte with Papa:

Otherwise we’ve been getting out for some nice walks in the spring weather and hanging out in Roslindale. Last night we went out for an early dinner with Charlotte and actually got to sit outside on the patio.

Today Charlotte got dressed up for a birthday party, for my friend Julia’s little boy who turned one.

Charlotte fell asleep in our bed the other morning…

But then she woke up.

Baby’s first baseball season

Red Sox Opening Day was yesterday. Charlotte wore her Sox onesie and hat, but the game was rained out, which she was clearly not happy about:

Charlotte loves Elmo:

She loves Pippi too and hanging out in her little seat.

Cute stuff

Charlotte has been very busy sticking her hands in her mouth lately. Her chin, hands and shirt all seem to be covered with drool most of the time. Charlotte is on a pretty good schedule, which has impressed the teachers at daycare. She’s starting to take longer afternoon naps. At night she still gets up once around 1 or 2 to eat, although last weekend she slept 9 hours both nights! It was amazing, but short-lived.

Charlotte has a passport!

We are going to Spain in May, so we had to get Charlotte a passport, and this is her passport photo. She looks like she’s in some kind of police lineup or something. The passport is good for five years, which is also funny.
